Things to know before booking your OliOli® Children's Play Museum tickets

Booking window

  • Tickets are available for timed sessions; slots book online and may sell out 3–7 days ahead, especially on weekends.
  • Same-day tickets are rare; secure your preferred time through online pre‑booking.
  • Check the live schedule during booking since operating hours and available slots can vary.

Entrances & flow

  • All visitors enter through the main street-level entrance at 62 4A Street, Al Quoz—look for clear OliOli® signage.
  • Upon arrival, you’ll check in at reception, where your QR code is scanned; expect a brief wait (typically 0–10 minutes).
  • While pre-booked tickets help avoid long queues, standard security measures (like bag checks) still apply.

What’s included

  • Your ticket grants access to all permanent galleries, including the Air Gallery, Water Gallery, Toshi’s Nets, Cars & Ramps, Future Park, and the dedicated Toddler Gallery.
  • The admission is valid for a 2‑hour (Discovery Pass) or a 3‑hour session; one child’s ticket automatically includes one complimentary adult.
  • Facilities such as on‑site play facilitators and La Petite Treehouse Café (food sold separately) are available for a seamless family experience.

Ways to explore

  • Enjoy free, self‑guided exploration across multiple interactive galleries designed for children aged 2–11.
  • Choose a 2‑hour session for a focused visit or a 3‑hour ticket if you’d like to revisit favorites and explore each gallery at a relaxed pace.
  • Remember to pack extra socks for entry, as many play zones require a sock-only policy, and prepare for potential water play in the Water Gallery.

Special access & upgrades

  • While there’s no dedicated “skip‑the‑line” ticket, timed sessions naturally minimize waiting by controlling crowd sizes.
  • Additional offerings,, such as birthday party packages or memberships may be available separately for a more extensive experience.
  • Keep an eye on special promotional events or temporary exhibits that might offer unique access or add‑on experiences.

non-transferable

  • Tickets are non-transferable; one adult joins free with every child ticket. Extra adults must purchase their own tickets, as adults cannot visit the museum without an accompanying child.
  • Re‑entry is not permitted; once you exit, the session is complete, so plan your visit accordingly.
  • Outside food isn’t allowed in play areas; however, snacks and meals can be purchased at the on‑site café.
